Community Ed & Rec summer offerings
Community Education & Recreation is planning numerous classes and other activities for youth and families during its summer session, which runs from June through August, including:
- Friday Playgroup: For all ages! Join other parents and children this summer at this parent-supervised free play at Plymouth parks.
- Habitat Hike - Trees! For all ages! We will learn to identify many common trees based on their unique features. Afterwards, we will look for the many different varieties of trees growing there while on a short hike. End with unstructured play at the playground.
- Parent/Tot Aquatics For ages 6 months-5 years with an adult. This structured program is designed to establish a comfort level in the water. Adults are in the water with their children, so this class offers a unique opportunity to bond.
- Middle-School Speed Camp - NEW! For those currently in grades 5-8. Led by a strength and conditioning specialist, athletes will break down the mechanics of athletic movement. In 4 weeks, athletes will master the foundational movement patterns required to dominate their sport, reduce risk of injury, and out-pace the competition.
